- the PTFE can be irradiated by a conventionally known method under conventionally known conditions. Irradiation of the PTFE under conventional irradiating conditions generates low molecular weight PTFE having a higher melt viscosity than the PTFE, as well as C8-C14 perfluorocarboxylic acids and salts thereof. Such perfluorocarboxylic acids and salts thereof can be removed from the low molecular weight PTFE by pulverizing the low molecular weight PTFE and then heating the pulverized low molecular weight PTFE after the irradiation.
- the radiation examples include any ionizing radiation, such as electron beams, ultraviolet rays, gamma rays, X-rays, neutron beams, and high energy ions. Electron beams or gamma rays are preferred.

In order to reduce generation of C8-C14 perfluorocarboxylic acids and salts thereof, the irradiation is preferably performed substantially in the absence of oxygen. It should be noted that irradiation substantially in the absence of oxygen is not essential because the production method of the invention includes the pulverization and the heating after the irradiation.
- the step (1) preferably provides particles of the low molecular weight PTFE having an average particle size of 500 ⁇ m or smaller.
- the average particle size of the low molecular weight PTFE particles is more preferably 300 ⁇ m or smaller, still more preferably 100 ⁇ m or smaller.
- the lower limit thereof may be, but is not limited to, greater than 30 ⁇ m.
- Low molecular weight PTFE particles having an average particle size within the above range can easily provide powder of low molecular weight PTFE having a relatively small average particle size.
- the average particle size is equivalent to the particle size corresponding to 50% of the cumulative volume in the particle size distribution determined using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer (HELOS & RODOS) available from Jeol Ltd. at a dispersive pressure of 1.0 bar without cascade impaction.
- HELOS & RODOS laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer
- the pulverization in the step (2) may be performed by any method, such as pulverization using a pulverizer.

- the pulverization temperature is preferably not lower than -200°C but lower than 50°C.
- the pulverization temperature is usually - 200°C to -100°C. Still, the pulverization may be performed around room temperature (10°C to 30°C). Freeze pulverization is usually achieved by the use of liquid nitrogen, but such pulverization requires enormous equipment and high pulverization cost.
- the pulverization temperature is more preferably not lower than 10°C but lower than 50°C, still more preferably 10°C to 40°C, particularly preferably 10°C to 30°C.
- the pulverization may be followed by removal of particles and fibrous particles by air classification, and further followed by removal of coarse particles by classification.
- the pulverized particles are sent to a cylindrical classification chamber by decompressed air, dispersed by swirl flow inside the chamber, and classified by centrifugal force.
- the particles are collected from the central portion into a cyclone and a bag filter.
- a rotary device such as a circular-cone-like cone or rotor configured to achieve homogeneous gyrating movement of the pulverized particles and the air.
- the classification point is adjusted by controlling the volume of the secondary air or the gap from the classification cone.

- the average particle size of the pulverized particles of the low molecular weight PTFE is more preferably 100 ⁇ m or smaller, and may be 1.0 to 50 ⁇ m.

- the average particle size is equivalent to the particle size corresponding to 50% of the cumulative volume in the particle size distribution determined using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer (HELOS & RODOS) available from Jeol Ltd. at a dispersive pressure of 1.0 bar without cascade impaction.
- HELOS & RODOS laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer
- the heating in the step (3) is performed at a temperature higher than the pulverization temperature in the step (2), and is performed at 100 to 300°C.
- the heating temperature is 100°C or higher, while more preferably 230°C or lower, still more preferably 200°C or lower, particularly preferably 130°C or lower. Too low a heating temperature may cause insufficient removal of C8-C14 perfluorocarboxylic acids and salts thereof. Too high a heating temperature may cause disadvantages such as a failure in achieving effects that correspond to the energy required for the heating, agglomeration of powder, and deformation of particles.
- the heating may be performed for any duration, and the heating duration is preferably 10 seconds to 5 hours, more preferably 5 minutes or longer, still more preferably 10 minutes or longer, while more preferably 4 hours or shorter, still more preferably 3 hours or shorter. Too short a heating duration may cause insufficient removal of C8-C14 perfluorocarboxylic acids and salts thereof. Too long a heating duration may cause disadvantages such as a failure in achieving effects that correspond to the heating duration, agglomeration of powder, and deformation of particles.
- the heating may be performed by any method, such as methods using any of the following heating devices.
- the heating devices include box dryers, band dryers, tunnel dryers, nozzle jet dryers, moving-bed dryers, rotary dryers, fluidized-bed dryers, air-flow dryers, box dryers, disc dryers, cylindrical mixing dryers, inverted-cone mixing dryers, microwave devices, vacuum heaters, box electric furnaces, hot-air circulating devices, flash dryers, vibration dryers, belt dryers, extrusion dryers, and spray dryers.
- the heating may be performed in any atmosphere. From the viewpoints of safety and economy, the heating is preferably performed in the air.
- the heating may be performed by placing the low molecular weight PTFE in a heating furnace, increasing the temperature inside the heating furnace up to a predetermined temperature, and then leaving the PTFE for a predetermined period of time.
- the low molecular weight PTFE is heated after the pulverization in the production method of the invention.
- most of C8-C14 perfluorocarboxylic acids and salts thereof unfortunately generated during the irradiation can be removed from the low molecular weight PTFE. If the order of the pulverization and the heating is reversed, C8-C14 perfluorocarboxylic acids and salts thereof cannot be sufficiently removed.
- the production method of the invention may further include (4) heating the PTFE up to a temperature that is not lower than the primary melting point thereof to provide a molded article before the step (1).
- the molded article obtained in the step (4) can be used as the PTFE in the step (1).
- the primary melting point is preferably 300°C or higher, more preferably 310°C or higher, still more preferably 320°C or higher.
- the primary melting point means the maximum peak temperature on an endothermic curve present on the crystal melting curve when unsintered PTFE is analyzed with a differential scanning calorimeter.
- the endothermic curve is obtainable by increasing the temperature at a temperature-increasing rate of 10°C/min using a differential scanning calorimeter.
- the molded article in the step (4) preferably has a specific gravity of 1.0 g/cm 3 or higher, more preferably 1.5 g/cm 3 or higher, while preferably 2.5 g/cm 3 or lower.
- the specific gravity can be determined by water displacement.
- the production method of the invention may further include pulverizing the molded article to provide powder of the PTFE after the step (4).
- the molded article may be first coarsely and then finely pulverized.
- the production method of the invention may further include (5) pulverizing the low molecular weight PTFE heated in the step (3). This can easily provide powder of low molecular weight PTFE having a much smaller average particle size.
- the low molecular weight PTFE has a melt viscosity of 1 ⁇ 10 2 to 7 ⁇ 10 5 Pa ⁇ s at 380°C.
- the term "low molecular weight” herein means that the melt viscosity is within this range.
- the melt viscosity is a value determined by heating a 2-g sample at 380°C for five minutes in advance and then keeping this sample at this temperature under a load of 0.7 MPa using a flow tester (Shimadzu Corp.) and a 2 ⁇ -8L die in conformity with ASTM D1238.
- the PTFE to be irradiated preferably has a standard specific gravity (SSG) of 2.130 to 2.230.
- SSG standard specific gravity
- the standard specific gravity (SSG) is a value determined in conformity with ASTM D4895.
- the PTFE has a significantly higher melt viscosity than the low molecular weight PTFE, and thus the melt viscosity thereof is difficult to measure accurately.
- the melt viscosity of the low molecular weight PTFE is measurable, but the low molecular weight PTFE has difficulty in providing a molded article usable for measurement of standard specific gravity.
- the standard specific gravity thereof is difficult to measure accurately. Therefore, in the invention, the standard specific gravity is used as an indicator of the molecular weight of the PTFE to be irradiated, while the melt viscosity is used as an indicator of the molecular weight of the low molecular weight PTFE.
- the low molecular weight PTFE preferably has a melting point of 324°C to 336°C.
- the melting point is defined using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) as follows. Specifically, temperature calibration is performed in advance with indium and lead as standard samples. Then, about 3 mg of low molecular weight PTFE is put into an aluminum pan (crimped container), and the temperature is increased at a rate of 10°C/min within the temperature range of 250°C to 380°C under air flow at 200 ml/min. The minimum point of the heat of fusion within this region is defined as the melting point.
- DSC differential scanning calorimeter
- the PTFE may be in any form, such as powder, a molded article of the PTFE, or shavings generated by cutting the molded article of the PTFE.
- the PTFE in the form of powder can easily provide powder of the low molecular weight PTFE.
- the low molecular weight PTFE obtainable by the production method of the invention is in the form of powder.
- the specific surface area thereof is preferably 0.5 to 20 m 2 /g.

- the low molecular weight PTFE powder of a small specific surface area type preferably has a specific surface area of 1.0 m 2 /g or larger, while preferably 5.0 m 2 /g or smaller, more preferably 3.0 m 2 /g or smaller.
- Suitable examples of the matrix material include plastics and inks, as well as coatings.
- the low molecular weight PTFE powder of a large specific surface area type when dispersed in a matrix material such as coating, has advantages of high surface-modifying effects, such as a small dispersed particle size in a matrix material and improved texture of the film surface, and a large amount of oil absorption.
- such powder may not be easily dispersed in a matrix material (e.g., take a long time for dispersion), and may cause an increased viscosity of coating, for example.
- the low molecular weight PTFE powder of a large specific surface area type preferably has a specific surface area of 8.0 m 2 /g or larger, while preferably 15 m 2 /g or smaller, more preferably 13 m 2 /g or smaller.

- the specific surface area is determined by the BET method using a surface analyzer (trade name: BELSORP-mini II, MicrotracBEL Corp.), a gas mixture of 30% nitrogen and 70% helium as carrier gas, and liquid nitrogen for cooling.
- a surface analyzer trade name: BELSORP-mini II, MicrotracBEL Corp.
- the average particle size thereof is preferably 0.5 to 200 ⁇ m, more preferably 50 pm or smaller, still more preferably 20 ⁇ m or smaller, particularly preferably 10 ⁇ m or smaller, further more preferably 5 ⁇ m or smaller.
- the lower limit thereof may be 1.0 ⁇ m.
- powder having a relatively small average particle size when used as an additive for coating, for example, can provide a film having much better surface smoothness.
- the average particle size is equivalent to the particle size corresponding to 50% of the cumulative volume in the particle size distribution determined using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer (HELOS & RODOS) available from Jeol Ltd. at a dispersive pressure of 1.0 bar without cascade impaction.
